      Table 1. Technical characteristics of SAW filter and BAW filter

      Filter typeSAW filterBAW filter
      CharacteristicHigh stability, low insertion loss (2-4 dB)High stability, low insertion loss (0.8-1.5 dB), high power tolerance
      Applicable frequency range10 MHz-3 GHz1.5-6 GHz, the maximum up to over 10 GHz
      AdvantageSmaller than the traditional ceramic filter, flexible, mature technology, high reliabilitySuitable for high frequency, insensitive to temperature changes, miniaturized vertical propagation in acoustic wave, decreased size according to frequency increase
      LimitationPoor thermal stability, decreased Q-value when operating frequency exceeds 1.5 GHzHigh manufacturing cost, complex manufacturing process
